Higharc gives you more configurability than a typical plan library—not by “modifying” the plan each time, but by configuring from a robust set of pre-designed, buildable options. You can dial in choices across elevations, structural and construction selections, and interior layout/finish tiers—so the home can adapt to lot conditions and buyer preferences while staying inside a controlled, estimate-ready system.

In practice, configurability can include:

• Operational / construction choices (e.g., wall depth, plate heights, select structural approaches where designed)
• Lot-driven choices (e.g., foundation type, garage size and orientation, etc)
• Buyer-driven layout and lifestyle choices (e.g., office vs. bedroom, owner’s entry bench/drop zone, kitchen and bath upgrade tiers, storage/flex space alternatives)

Higharc owns the maintenance of the Core Collection plans—so your team isn’t responsible for “keeping the library current.” We manage updates to keep plans aligned with evolving code requirements, constructability best practices, and market expectations. We roll improvements into the collection in a structured way so changes don’t create surprise rework for your estimating, purchasing, or permitting workflows.

As part of Early Access, you’ll have a clear feedback channel: participating builders help us understand what’s working in the field and what needs refinement, which directly informs what we prioritize next—while Higharc remains accountable for producing, validating, and releasing updates.

The Core Collection templates were created by experienced residential architects using market-tested square footages, program mixes, and elevations proven across multiple regions. 

Higharc is especially well-suited for on-your-lot because the templates are built to adapt, not just be redlined. Dimensions, options, and key configurations are parameter-driven—so when a lot condition changes or a buyer need arises, you can adjust the plan intelligently without restarting drafting from scratch each time.

For the Core Collection, we’ve structured the plans in two practical tiers:

• Production-anchored configurations that hold to fixed lot widths and proven, efficient home flows—great for repeatability and cost control.
• Enhanced configurations that introduce more personalization and “semi-custom” features—expanding beyond the typical production rectangle while staying within a disciplined, buildable system.

You can customize the sales experience extensively—you control what gets offered, how it’s packaged, and how it’s presented. Higharc gives you configuration controls at multiple levels (master plan, community, and even lot-specific), so you can tailor options, standards, and buyer choices to match your business goals and the realities of each homesite.

That means you can:

Enable/disable options by lot when something won’t fit or isn’t allowed—so buyers only see what’s actually viable.

Set what’s standard vs. optional (and by extension how you position it)—for example, making fireplaces standard in a move-up community but optional elsewhere.

Align the offering to strategy (price point, cycle time, margin targets, and buyer expectations) without redesigning the plan.

And because brochures and plan materials are generated based on the configured home, they stay in sync with the selections you’ve set and the options a buyer chooses—so what’s being sold matches what will be built.

The template designs themselves are locked (not directly editable), but they’re highly configurable through elevations, options, and key layout variants. What you control is the per-lot offering, your estimating methodology, and the sales/marketing experience.

No. This is not a plan library, but an integrated system: configurable plans with selling tools, estimating, and business operations working together on a central data model.

Higharc templates are intentionally designed to be lightweight to implement and maintain without adding software admin burden. Typically sales, estimating, construction ops, and leadership use Higharc. No specialist headcount required.
